}}Before doing anything to the machine, its recommended to run a known good design with known good thread and with only a couple pieces of backing and good scrap material to verify the problem is mechanical.

The embroidery troubleshooting guide can be reviewed first to verify the symptoms and resolutions offered.

Basic Operations

Tensions

Thread Tensions are very important and probably one of the most underestimated issues in embroidery. The thread tensions should be constantly checked.

Bobbin Tensions

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
Embroidery Machine Bobbins

The bobbin tension should be adjusted when the bobbin is changed. Once the bobbin tension is set, it should not be changed again until it is replaced with another new bobbin.

Thread Tensions

The thread tensions on the embroidery machine should be checked constantly. Do not bother setting the thread tensions without setting the bobbin tension first.

Common Adjustments

Needle Depth

Hook Timing

Needle Stop Position
